Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain, Scottsdale
More photosExpert reviews
“This visually breathtaking place was the Valley’s first hip resort, and I still like the contemporary rooms here better than those at other hip hotels around town—and so do the celebrities who stay here.”
“Draped across the northern slopes of Camelback Mountain, this luxe resort and spa feels like a hideaway of the gods. Mountain suites, spa casitas, private homes – no matter your choice, you will feel pampered, protected and deserving. Lodgings are decorated in slick modern tones that contrast with the ochres of the desert.”
“A long history of health and wellness makes this luxe resort a true sanctuary for the modern soul. The posh retreat boasts a legendary spa, innovative and farm-focused cuisine and a distinctive place of respite high above the cityscape on Camelback Mountain.”

Royal Palms Resort and Spa, Phoenix
Frommers + 3 more“It’s full of winding, tree-covered paths, arches, narrow walkways, gardens, and antique fountains, creating the tranquil feel of a Mediterranean monastery. The denseness landscaping belies its relatively small footprint on Camelback Road in Arcadia.”

Hotel Adeline, Scottsdale
New York Times“The new Hotel Adeline takes an affordable approach to style. Some 213 rooms ring a lively pool area that includes a full-service bar. On weekends, ask for the password to get into the hidden speakeasy Straight Up.”

Resort The Phoenician, Scottsdale
Fodors + 2 more“In a town where luxurious, expensive resorts are the rule, the Phoenician still stands apart, primarily in the realm of service. The gilded, marbled lobby with towering fountains is the backdrop for a $25 million fine-art collection.”
